Up for sale, a 1975 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Featherweight at 6lbs 12oz, this remarkably well-kept vintage Strat is an uncommon iteration with string-through body construction.

Tonewoods include an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, delivering a unique resonance and punch with an array of traditional ‘70s Strat tones. The trio of flat-pole gray bobbin single coil pickups offer a distinct sound in each position on the three-way switch. The bridge has a snappy twang and bite, the middle pickup has a certain honk and percussive clarity, and the neck single coil has a smooth, yet detailed tone that's ideal for solos and lead work. This Hardtail Stratocaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
